"Singing fit to make the walls shake with her big fruity jazz vocals."
Miss Tricity Vogue
"This busty redhead, stitched into the most improbably tight and sexy outfits, takes no prisoners as she grabs the audience by the lapels and shakes 'em up (and down!), leaving them baying for more of the treatment."
"If you want a true, honest-to-goodness stagecraft, soulful singing and someone who can really work a room, catch Corliss Randall's act. This dame is good for what ails you, so grab a piece if you know what's good for you."
Newark Jazz Festival 2007
"She almost blew the roof off the church in 2006, Newark welcomes back the sensational Corliss Randall, not for the faint-hearted."
Volupte
"As the lights go down a saxophonist appears through the velvet curtain, playing a soulful jazz tune. Next a drummer enters, followed by a pianist, and finally American singer Corliss Randall, who is wearing a sparkly black dress and has fabulous deep-red hair. They launch into the first song, which I recognize, "When the rhythm starts to play, dance with me, make me sway..." Corliss's voice is deep and sexy, and she moves around the room, weaving in and out of tables."

Corliss on the Stars
Corliss set Islington alight with a cabaret, burlesque and live music show every Tuesday evening for nearly 2 years. Were you lucky enough to witness Corliss shimmying down Upper Street with her Sax player in tow?
"Coming into this club is like entering Corliss's own boudoir. The lights are low, the welcome is friendly and the bar is fabulously stocked. With a great band backing her, Corliss is in her element here."
Mr Andy Williamson, May 2006
Edinburgh Fringe
"Grab a beer (or three), and enjoy the company of Corliss Randall as Mae West. This diva has sass and plenty of it, super sized and tacked into a corset by three men, and it only taking one gin and tonic to get her out. This raunchy lady gives the audience a great performance of songs from the 20's and what a voice she has"
THREEWEEKS, Aug 2005
"A saucy whiff of traditional Fringe burlesque comes from Corliss Randall's raunchy one-woman show, Sex with Mae West"
THE SCOTSMAN, Taking Centre Stage, Aug 2005
"Then the temperature and tempo hots up with redhead jazz diva Corliss Randall, squeezed into her tight black corset. Risqué burlesque the way it's meant to be. A professional showcase with a strong touch of old school glamour"
EDINBURGHGUIDE.COM The Cave of the Golden Calf at the Royal Scots Club, Aug 2005
"Gorgeous New Orleans diva Corliss (Louis Prima's god-daughter) and some ex-Honkin' Hepcats with a steamy, raunchy, glittery, feathery, saucy gumbo of deep-down-and-dirty songs from prohibition and beyond. A paean to high burlesque and low art."
"A real diva from New Orleans, Corliss Randall (Louis Prima's god-daughter!) brings Mae West back to life in her full bodied, sequined, feathery glory."
